The vid that was floating around of that was amazing...it flat out denied Tracy in his Matrix and to see the K2 climb it immediatly after was insane. The look on Tracy's face was priceless...I guess about the same as my face when Bec pulled off the waterfall after I was stumped so many times:-\
That rumor was the same I heard too BUT a rumor I have a hard time believing...crawling that SLIPPERY line, even with stickeys, just doesn't hold water even with rear steer. Who knows if it happened and if it did, what the curcumstances were (spotter rope, big stack, winch, just a fun story, or the real deal) BUT if anyone has the balls to give it heck hard enough, it surely is Charlie. I always wondered if some just mistook the last waterfall on Upper with the many waterfalls before the last one as many of those falls deny MANY rigs...? OR was the bottom really filled in with a ton of sand, rocks, etc naturally and then the bottom degraded over time...?
Regardless, seeing as the obstacle no longer exists for us, I'd rather NOT know if it was true...it just makes Charlie that much more mysterious:greg:
